Headgasket

[01cummins6]

Leak coming from front passenger corner of block. Quit for awhile then started again. No coolant in oil

Pull the head off and have it checked to flatness and cracks. 

 

New gasket and stud time.

What does it cost 

[Me78569]

that's gonna vary, call around to machine shops.

[jlbayes]

$400-450 for studs. $80-150 to surface the head. Most places.

In that location could it also be thermostat housing leaking

Did you have any coolant mixing with or anything

That picture could be of an alien autopsy.  I can't figure out what you're taking a picture of.  Sorry, I'm no help.

[Me78569]

me either, gonna need a better picture,

Ether way if it's leaking it's not going to get better, get parts lined up

This is the front part of my head gasket when I redid mine, wasn't leaking or anything but after 348,000 miles I figured it was time to replace it. It was literally falling apart and I have no idea what that sand like substance on the top right was, but It's a good thing I replaced it. Probably the same thing for you, failing at the coolant passage port.

Mine looks to be leaking at the front passenger corner of block

Yes it did. However I know of others that did not. Pressure tester on the rad will show you.
